This video made me deeply reflect on the importance of adaptability. We are living in the age of artificial intelligence, where change happens faster than ever, and the ability to adjust has become essential. As a mechanical engineer, I’ve always been surrounded by machines and technology, but now I see how AI is transforming the way we work, reducing the need for manual labor and challenging us to find new ways to stay relevant. In this context, adaptability is not only about learning new technical skills, but also about staying open-minded and resilient when faced with uncertainty.
Equally important are emotional intelligence and mental balance. I’ve realized that understanding my own emotions and those of others helps me communicate better, handle pressure, and collaborate more effectively. Emotional intelligence allows us to stay grounded and empathetic, even when technology changes everything around us. Mental balance, on the other hand, gives us the stability to keep learning and growing without burning out. It’s what helps us stay focused, positive, and confident despite constant change. Together, these qualities adaptability, emotional intelligence, and mental balance feel like the foundation for not just surviving, but thriving, in the future ahead.
About MARIA GODOY VIVAR
Hello, my name is Maria Jose, but you can call me Majo. I studied mechanical engineer in Ecuador (back home). I worked in the plastics and metals recycling industry, where I discovered I wanted to continue my studies in materials science, which is why I'm here in this master's program. Outside of my professional life, I love animals, desserts, and hiking.
